Roblox Corporation has lowered its 2026 bookings growth forecast to 8-12%, a sharp reduction from the previously referenced 22-26% range, creating margin pressure through fixed-cost deleveraging. The revised outlook assumes daily active users will decline sequentially from the first quarter to the second quarter before returning to sequential growth in the third quarter, with the reset largely tied to safety-related user-growth friction including age-check changes and softer organic sign-ups. Roughly one-fourth of the margin impact is tied to incremental spending on artificial intelligence and a higher DevEx rate for age-checked users aged 18 and above, a cohort that monetizes at roughly 1.5 times the platform average. Roblox shares have declined 16.5% over the past three months and currently trade at a forward 12-month price-to-sales multiple of 3.96, well above the industry average of 2.26. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Roblox's 2026 loss per share has narrowed from $1.61 to $1.45 over the past 60 days.
